Originally from Chicago but now reside in Antioch (East Bay).
Total noob with limited knowledge but have learned much from CG and from coworkers.
I work a rotating schedule, but am willing to help in any way I can.

NRA instructor (through Personal Protection in the Home) and RSO. Not actively teaching guns but would like to get into it. Instructor for both leading national first aid programs and several miscellaneous programs (pepper spray, handcuffing, Taser.)

Some legal training. NOT an attorney. Believe strongly in the RKBA. Stupid enough to be a member of my college's Democrats for the 2nd Amendment campus club; smart enough to regret it now. Dislike going to Sacramento but have done my time walking the halls of power, and will do so again as needed.

I very much love H&K pistols and currently own a HK45. Used to own an M&P 9mm compact and a H&K P30L but sold them before moving to California.
I am very much a car guy as well and love most German cars, mostly BMW's though.

Hello Richard!

I'm just curious, but will you consider reactivating your pistol certificate in the future?

I'd love to reactivate the certification, but time is the problem. Back when I got certified, I had one child... now I have five (all daughters!) While they're young, they need and want to spend time with daddy. However, when they're teenagers and the old man just embarrasses them... I'll have time!

To keep your certification active, you have to teach a minimum number of classes per year, and I just didn't have time to keep it up. It was fun, though.

Liz, quick question - I see on your info that you're a "CGN Contributor - Lifetime". I assume that CGN is the CalGuns Foundation? And, what does it take to become a lifetime member?

I understand your priorties with family and was just curious, no worries. People ask from time to time about getting pistol instruction on here, so I wanted to keep you in mind.

On the contributor status, mine is with CGN, the web site. The Foundation is the non-profit portion of Calguns and a separate entity from CGN. Brandon (Wildhawker) is part of the Calguns Foundation Board; he may be able to answer any questions you may have about the Foundation.

The last I saw, I don't think the Foundation has a Life Membership set up, but this is something Brandon may be able to help answer too.

I hope this clarifies things and if not, feel free to drop me an email/PM.

Hi everyone! Bart1=Roberto
I live in SF (the worst if you like firearms). I am new to guns and I bought my first gun a couple of months ago. It was a Colt 1911 nickled enhanced version. I bought my first rifle( marlin 795 ) and have sinced been hooked on long range shooting. I traded my colt for a remington 700 .

I'm a competitive weight lifter. Best lift was 568lb deadlift @ 198lb. I earned the American record until it was later beat a year later. Weight training is my passion and I'm the person to talk to if your tired of being small and skimpy.

I'm in Pleasant Hill and have lived in the Bay Area for the past 25 years.

I like to shoot at United Sportsman in Concord as often as I can (at least once a month, usually more often), and I'm a member of Diablo Rod & Gun Club.

Another calguns member was very kind in letting me borrow his Sig sight pusher, and I'd like to return the favor to the calguns community. If you need to borrow an upper receiver vise block for an AR, PM me. I have other AR and M1A tools as well.

Picking up my first gun, a Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 rifle, on Sunday, though my dad and I have been shooting his guns for a few years now, so I'm a decent enough marksman.

My handle is BayAreShooter and I reside in the East Bay. I am new to Cal Guns but I post on multiple other forums. I have a thing for Rugers. I mainly shoot at Livermore/Pleasanton Rod and Gun and have most likely talked or seen a few of you there.
